He died of typhoid fever and was aged
about 20 years. His body was brought to
this city on Tuesday and funeral services
held in the NJ. Il. Church Wednesday even

WAxAHACHIE, lex, Nov. 27.-Yester-
day afternoon was warm enough to hold
the mercury at So above zero, with sum-
mer like mists and showers, and all out
doors was dripping wet and uncomfort-
ably sloppy. Last night, about O'Clock,
g cold norther OF considerable force swept
down on this section, and transformed
the crystal drops on trees, shrubbery,
etc, into sickles CT ice. 1he thermome-
ter this morning registered 22' above
z ro, the lowest at this point this season.
The norther is blowing briskly and
the sun has been shining all day; but
the ground still remains frozen, and the
indications are that tomorrow morning
will reach lower temperature than to-
day.
The farmers are rejoicing over the re-
cent rains, and say that there is nothing
for which they should have been more
thankful on Thanksgiving day. Wheat is
looking well through this section, and q
good stand is generally reported. Cotton
is out of the field now and pretty well
marketed.

Indag date of November Z, reports the ar

at the island on October 49, The CORE
spondent says it was significant to watch
the delighted expressions of the Samoans
and hear them. say how glad they were.
Friendly relations were ST once estso-
iished between the Samoans and the
American officers, and dinners given in
honor of the visitors. The first meeting
OF the native Legislature under Tomazz
took place October IL. The behavior Of
the natives did not indicate any departure
from their position that they do not sub
NIT to Tomszz, but TO the Germans. The
proceedings at the Parliament were COZ
slssent with the German policy. Tt e
Germans read law as it was to be and
there was en- end of it. No one was al
lowed to discuss the tax which was an
nounced. A tax of 81 per head was
levied, with fine and Imprisonment If not
paid. To get money to pay this tax
the Samoans will have to borrow.
The Germans knew this, and they are
threatening the natives with puDishmeI t
by man of war if they do not raise the re-
CURED tax. On the day before assembling
the Legislature chief named Tamaz 80
was arrested on charge of theft and put
in prison. The real cause of this action
WAS that Tamazsn had said he was glad
there was an Anne ricen man of-war
coming, and this had baen reportt d to tn
Magistrate who had him up. Tamezan
was released from prison by the Ameri-
can Consul, who severely rebuked the
